Our little tree-hugger! She's already a great little hiker.......too fun!!!!

We must have seen at least 20 different kinds of mushrooms on our hike! I wish I knew more about them because I could almost smell them sizzling in the pan with some garlic and EVOO.....yummy!!!!

We checked out Little River Trail the other day.......it was really beautiful and loaded with mushrooms!

Cassidy loves animals! She wants to work with her Auntie Jenny one day!

Cassidy loved riding so much she immediately got back in line and rode again. We could have been there all day she loved it so!!!! She's definitely your grandaughter mom!!!!

Last weekend was Farm Day........our very favorite of all the wonderful festivals up here! Various farms are on tour for the day and it is just wonderful! Cassidy rode her first pony and she LOVED it!!!

Berta came to visit on Labor Day Weekend.........it was short but sweet and we crammed in a lot of fun in a few short days! Love you Nana Bert!!!!

Lois and Cassidy hangin' at the river near our campsite. They kept climbing out on this log looking for adventure!

I love this little girl from the top of her curly head to her sandy little cheezers!

After a small 1 1/2 mile hike through the woods we reached Third Beach.......gorgeous and sandy!

The 'shrooms are even gorgeous here!

We camped for a week at Mora campground in the Olympic National Park. It is in the heavy woods and on the river. Our site was so amazing that many people kept asking us when we were leaving so they could move in!!! It was very peaceful and relaxing!

Happy, sandy camper!

Forever climbing!!!! We camped for a week near this beach......Rialto Beach in the Olympic National Park. There are picnic tables scattered everywhere and many people come down and build fires and watch the sunset........

"I can do it! I'm a great climber!" is Cassidy's constant battle cry!

Don, Cassidy and I took a beautiful boat ride in Port Orchard Bay at his employee picnic. The Suquamish Tribe are breaking the casino norm and are really great people to work for.......go figure!

Don is working at the Clearwater Casino for the Suquamish Tribe. This is their lodge which is right on the water and surrounded by spectacular gardens! We went there for the annual employee picnic. I thought Caesar's Tahoe used to throw a great summer picnic but this one stole the show! Gorgeous property; boat rides; games and crafts galore for the children (and adults!); great food, cold drinks and root beer floats; live music & fireworks at night! Wow! I am SO impressed! They even had a veggie burger so I didn't have to whip mine out! Ha ha ha!!!!

Sassy-Sue is now on her two wheeler + training wheels and she is whizzing along fast when we take her to the Olympic Discovery Trail. The trail is now right across the street from our home and we are loving it! Cassidy loves this bike WAY more than she ever did a trike........too cool to watch!

Wheeeeeeee!!! Cassidy has nice guns like her daddy.......!!!
